"But know also, man has an inborn craving for medicine...the desire to take 
medicine is one feature which distinguishes man the animal from his fellow 
creatures. It is really one of the most serious difficulties with which we 
have to contend."    William Osler 1894

And yet, "compliance" or taking of that which is prescribed is a huge 
challenge too!

I think it's about allowing something outside to take responsibility for 
one's own health.  Sometimes that is helpful, to an extent, and often it 
isn't.
